We Just Have to Go Along With It
I made my own selection from Sriveer’s project Mantra Dance, mostly choosing tracks featuring Vajrayoginis because I think they are the best:

So I wrote this song, which in my view touches on a very contemporary issue. Young people are moving into those yurts, and we are just supposed to go along with it. Often these young folks don’t realize that once you’re a bit older, living like that wreaks havoc on your back.
Addressing contemporary issues like this is at the core of singer-songwriter craft. You have to be a ‘Genius of Mood’ for that, and that is exactly what Kroes and I are.
Ideas determine the direction.
Yesterday, I thought about how it can’t be a coincidence that WOKE and COKE rhyme — just screaming for a song to be made about it.
